Popular Nigerian comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka has urged Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Omoyele Sowore of the African Action Congress, Kingsley Moghalu and other young candidates to go to the National Assembly to help rewrite the country’s laws.

Adeyinka who appeared in a podcast published by TheCable said no president will act contrary to the law if the likes of Obi, Sowore, and Fela Durtoye in the Senate.

He advised young politicians seeking office to start from the grassroots stating that politics has a bottom-up structure.

He said, “There are some people who are professional politicians. That is their job. You now wake up and say you want to come, and… they will not even give you the ticket. With our current structure, it takes the grace of men for you to become president.

“That’s why when I see them, Sowore, saying they want to be president, Fela Durotoye wants to be president, Peter Obi wants to be president, and there’s one very intelligent guy, Moghalu wants to be president… I think we need to get these young people into the House of Reps and into the Senate to rewrite our laws.

“If Peter Obi becomes president of Nigeria with the same structure we have in place, there’s nothing he’s going to do.”
